Recology, in partnership with New Way Trucks and Hyzon, has initiated trials for North America's first hydrogen-powered refuse truck in San Francisco. The collaboration aims to promote sustainability and combat climate change by introducing innovative clean energy solutions in the waste management sector. This initiative aligns with Recology's history of prioritizing fleet sustainability, with significant reductions in emissions achieved since 2018. The hydrogen-powered refuse truck is part of efforts to transition to zero-emission vehicles, crucial for addressing greenhouse gas emissions. Recology's trial seeks to validate the power and range capabilities of zero-emission vehicles in waste collection operations. The partnership between Recology, New Way Trucks, and Hyzon aims to showcase the viability of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the waste and recycling industry, with plans to expand trials beyond San Francisco to other cities in the Bay Area, California, and Canada. By incorporating hydrogen fuel cells, the companies aim to address challenges faced by other zero-emission technologies, including range issues and payload limitations. Hyzon's advanced hydrogen fuel cell systems offer consistent power and performance, demonstrating their potential to replace traditional heavy-duty diesel engines. The initiative also includes testing a Class 8 200kW FCEV tractor-trailer to further validate hydrogen fuel cells as a sustainable option in the refuse industry. The trial program is set to prove the efficiency and reliability of hydrogen fuel cell technology, potentially revolutionizing waste collection practices with environmentally friendly alternatives.
